Shipley Bridge is a major access point to Dartmoor's southern moors.

There is a parking lot, toilets and information boards. A paved trail winds its way up through the Avon Dam Reservoir Valley to Avon Dam Reservoir.

Initially this runs next to the river. Along the path you will meet stray pigs.

Lydia Bridge Waterfall

Highlight • Bridge

Lydia Bridge is a stone packhorse bridge dating back to the 17th or 18th century and remains a Grade II listed structure. Standing on it, you’ll find a waterfall immediately north, running over mossy boulders and generally looking quaint and lovely.

St Petroc's Church, South Brent

Highlight • Religious Site

This church has quite a colourful history and its oldest section is the Norman tower. In the 14th century, much of the church was demolished and rebuilt, renovated again in the 15th century. In the 1400s the Reverend John Hay was pulled out of the church and brutally murdered in the grounds by a group of men; the reasons lost to history. The door through which he was taken was blocked off but can still be seen from the outside.

Its long history is in evidence everywhere, as is its transformation over the centuries. Walking around the church is a peaceful experience and a little like going back in time.
